No, the tabloid posters' karma would go up (presumably) and so their postings would get stronger. (I reason that if tabloid stuff got voted down, people would post less of it, so it must be finding an audience.)
My personal tactic is to be nasty to posters of crap. It has more impact than some mere 'point', and gives them guidance as to what's wrong.

If the submissions aren't appreciated, neither will be the user. If a community mind has already set in, it should, in theory, be hard to shake free of that standard.
